At Spitsbergen we observed this behavior a couple of times. When playtime began they would jerk out some of the tundra and would eat it, or play with it, or suck out the minerals or something. But it seems a weird thing to do after you just ate an Eider duck or a Barnacle Goose, to pretend to be a vegeterian :D

Thanks for watching,

This is an adorable image and the low perspective gives it nice intimate look.

Lovely image Krijn, great colours, angle and sharpness. You must have been pretty close here to these cuties. About this 'vegetarian' behaviour in predators I can only add that I have witnessed black-backed jackals eating grass and leaves of a tree! Maybe these animals know about the importance of a balanced diet:D

This is a fine image. You have a real strong center of interest with great detail and good saturated colors. The BG is real good. You could crop a little bit off the right side of the frame might help since the fox is looking right at the viewer..
